I like that wrap! Try some Wipe New on those A pillars - I think you'll see a great improvement.

I’ve been toying with a wrap. I don’t won’t any cammo or flash...just lookin for a cheaper alternative to a traditional paint job. Trail scratches have destroyed the factory finish.

I had the same question regarding what someone might expect to be charged for a wrap.

A guy in a 3 series BMW told me his satin black wrap ran about 3K while a guy in Superduty double cab said his camo wrap was 7.5K.

Both were way more expensive than I expected.

Regardless, they must be worth it as I see them everywhere, on everything.

Almost forgot to say......Damn, that looks great!

The wrap was from metrorestyling... I have 672 in it...got small squeegies and a few other tools off of ebay for about 20... already had heat gun..all kinds of YouTube videos on pointers of how to do it.. washed it real good.. used alcohol to make sure it was free from residue...think that was about it... it was harder than I thought it would be though... thru research...people act like roughly double the cost of the wrap to have it installed...but I figure for an installer to do it you would be in at least the 2500 dollar range for everything.. my job may have mistakes but what can I say it was cheap..and my paint was crapping out...

Here is what it looked like about 6 year's ago..the Mickey thompsons looked good.. but wore out pretty quick.. also seemed to be hard on the front end components...had the torsion bars cranked to around 24 inches then.. lowered it back down to about 22.5
